A FOOTBALL tournament is to be held in memory of murdered teenager Anthony Walker. The tournament on October 23 has won the support of the anti-racist charity Kick It Out, as well as Merseyside police and Liverpool and Everton Football Clubs.

The event, involving teams from throughout the North West will be at King George V playing fields in Huyton, and follows the success of a basketball tournament held in honour of the schoolboy.

Organiser Van Gaffney said: "I think Anthony would be pleased because it is about people working together no matter what their race.

"It's a chance for different cultures in the city to go to Huyton and say this is our culture and this is who we are.

"It's also a chance for the community of Huyton to stand up and say we are willing to do something to tackle racism in our area."
